Movie #3060 ........................."Somebody Somewhere" (HBO) season 1

 Movie #3060 "Somebody Somewhere" (HBO)  Season 1  -- This is such a natural, easygoing show, that centers around a young woman, going through grief , trying to find her niche in life -- she has a few friends, but one in particular, who happens to be gay.  Her being a product of a very conservative (somewhat homophobic)  farm community that  doesn't recognize her love for music makes her want to be the somebody who is searching for her somewhere.  You have to put up with a lot of language and raunchy  comments and situations, but to me it is well worth it because of the universality of the major storyline.  This show has a lot of HEART along with HUMOR -- we are always laughing out loud at either what is said or the situations she and her outsider friends are  put into.  This show isn't for everyone --- I know that --- but we have enjoyed each of the episodes so much, we are now almost done with Season 2 already --- they are short episodes, and that makes it a fun watch, too.    I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5.

"SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE"      HBO      7 episodes, 30 mins each    2022

Sam is a true Kansan on the surface, but beneath it all, she struggles to fit the hometown mould.  Grappling with loss and acceptance she discovers herself and a community of outsiders who don't fit in but don't give it.  (that last line is so true --- they are outsiders, trying  to make the best of it!)
